[QUOTE=TheMawn;381653]I wasn't alluding to any particular post, no.

Ok, your worry that work units might suddenly and unnecessarily be reserved has presumably been sorted, yet I can't imagine how that fear was spawned.
I was at pains in my last message to agree that masses of unreserved work in outer reaches is not a bad thing, so I can't think why you imagined that I might be troubled about such business.
My position remains, that there is no symmetric mechanism for anybody to request assigned work subject to explored level.
I would have occasion to invoke such discrimination filter if it were available.
It is currently very awkward to assign work limited by depth in a non-virgin region where different contributors at different times have created a ragged edge of exploration.
I haven't subscribed, but I suspect that one can exercise such discrimination for assignments via GPU72.
I'm off tripping for a couple of weeks, Macau, Hong Kong, Beijing.
Done all that before, but Beijing will be very different to the last time I saw it.
I'll progress my reservations upon return, in the meantime my equipment will remain cold!
